    We did it, walking part of the Frances and the all of the Primitivo as a family of 4.

    Such an uplifting Camino Way! Thank you for sharing it! Congratulations!

    What do you normally do - Carry backpack or use transport service?

    Sorry people are judgmental. I have a tear in my shoulder (choose to use alternative methods to care vs surgery and it includes not stressing it) and at 69 (when I walked the Frances) and 73 (planning the Portuguese) - my back is not the greatest. So I used a carrier service and will do it again.

    Question (about walking poles) for older walkers

    Wow! I had never used poles before starting on my Camino. But I credit them with saving me from 3 nasty falls along with helping my lower back and hips!

    Question (about walking poles) for older walkers

    I have terrible hand issues! However, I had a person at the sports shop in SJPP help me adjust my poles for me (not used them much beforehand) and she also gave me instructions as to how to use them with out gripping them as hard -- it really helped! Good luck. Buen Camino!

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Airport transit in the UK

    Where do you see that the day 2 test is waived??? The Locator Form seems to require some proof that we are registered for one. SOOOO confusing

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Airport transit in the UK

    Thank you for this!! I will be going through LHR (2 hour layover before departing to Rome) - did you schedule the 2-day test somewhere in England even though you knew you would not be there? Did you pay for it??

    Monte do Gozo

    We stayed there in late Oct 2019. It was pouring rain which really only made it bleaker. I think there were 20 of us in that whole place. I opted to stay there because I wanted to walk into Santiago early in the morning - it worked out great. We had NO wait to get our Compostela, checked into...

    Leaving dog home question

    My daughter LOVES dogs - had 4 at the same time for a few years! She now dog-sits at others' homes to get her dog fix since she can't have her own. It is a win-win.

    Do top bunks stop bed bugs?

    I wish I could say I had not experienced bed bugs!!! We were in an absolutely immaculate albergue, private room. We got caught in the rain and when we got into the room I stripped off all the wet clothes and hung them over the radiator to dry as we were going on a Monastery tour in a couple...

    Where to spend a relaxing week post Camino

    Amazing how many pull at our hearts in Spain (and Italy!). We spent 89 days traveling throughout Spain (NOT on any Camino) and I want to go back for much more. I wish that 90 day rule was 120!
